We don't use a popular vote. It's meaningless.

But as I've pointed out before. Millions of republicans in California don't vote in presidential elections unless there's a major senate race on the ballot, like 2004 when the margin of victory in California was 1 million votes instead of 5 million votes. They know a republican won't win the California electoral votes, and with two democrats on the ballot for senate and no republicans, they stayed home. If Trump pulled as many votes as Bush in California with a republican senator on the ballot the popular vote would have been close to tied.

But the presidency is only one race. If you look at every election over the last 6 years, democrats have been practically eliminated from power except in 7 states.

If the dems have been practically eliminated from power over the last 6 years, why is everything their fault?
I think the pubes are masterful obstructionists and con artists.

ObamaCare is their mess. Republicans can only now begin to fix it because Obama's veto pen is out of ink as of 1/19/2017.

Lol what?

The ACA had 40 cosponsors. Only 3 were republican. And they dropped out after the mandate was added. 37 democrat cosponsors plus democrat Charlie Rangel did this bill. Not 1 republican in Congress voted yes.

The democrats had a majority in the house and senate, plus a democrat president.

They could have passed anything they wanted. To say this was the best they could do to get it through congress (when no republican voted for it anyway) is completely incorrect.

You know what other countries were anti-liberal? Soviet Union. Mao China. Fascist Italy. Good company to be found in.

It's good that your president isn't failed painter then.

Liberalism = socialism/communism

It still leave patriotism and nationalism, both dangerous things. Also if liberalism = socialism/communism then paralel to III Reich still exist as it was anti communist. Again I hope this is where similarities will end.
